   in reply to

   @inthehands I think the (3) "purpose problem" doesn't adequately characterize it.

   It's not about our purpose. If our non-programming selves and everyone else would be fine without us having to make software, this "loss of purpose" would not be a big deal.

   The problem is that the things we care about are bound to software working right. Not exposing out privacy. Not breaking and losing our data. Not exploiting wetware bugs in our brains to serve evil people's political and economic goals. Not policing who we can communicte with and what we see. Not erasing our history and rewriting it out from under us. Etc.

   Software will not work right when it's vomited by machines owned by and serving the interests of our enemies.

   I will probably explain this badly, too... But I would like to rewatch MHA, but not spend all the hours needed to do an actual rewatch... Like, I want to speedrun the feelings of having watched it.

   It's so good. But it's so long. #twss

   Talking about unifying, I need to design my own Loops icon set because using 4 font families across web and mobile isn't it.

   It would be a lot of fun though 🤔

   Due to reasons I don't want to discuss, I unfortunately had to order something from Amazon just now.

   Actually, its been several things over the past few months.

   I've since noticed that Amazon has done this thing where the emails they send no longer send the product information in it.

   It's all very nondescript language.

   Naturally, my brain goes into "conspiracy mode".

   What if this is them making you click in the email to come back to Amazon to sell you on something else?

   Best thing about Codeberg's new anti-slop policy:

   When someone shares a link to a project on Codeberg, I don't have to dig thru the project information trying to figure out of it's slop before boosting or considering using it.

   It makes the Codeberg name a sign of some minimal level of trustworthiness.

   Something I love about the "good people disobey bad laws" pin I have on my purse is that if someone sees it & gets offended by what they believe I'm trying to say, they can't argue with me about it.

   It would be very hard to get far in a conversation trying to make the case that "good people should obey bad laws".

   I think it's a good mental seed to plant. It's not telling anyone what to do. It's just gently pointing out that disobedience is a virtue sometimes.
